Funny boy Umar

1. My daughter and her husband were filling in loan application forms from seven banks to try and get a home loan. Just then Umar unexpectedly said in his usual careless manner, nodding pretentiously, “I used to do this too, Mama, but it was only four banks.”

2. Amused, his mother asked what loan he asked for. Umar replied spontaneously, “Why, home loan of course, Mama.” “Are you sure it was not for your teeth?” his mother retorted, teasing.

3. Umar’s upper left middle incisor had just fallen out recently. His lower row of incisors were all gone but the middle two have come through and the left lateral one is beginning to appear leaving a gap where the right lateral would erupt. “You know I cannot apply for loan to do my teeth,” Umar remarked matter-of-factly.
